You look for a question, you come up with a hypothesis or a theory to explain or answer your question, then you begin assembling data, facts, and you can do that with observations of experiments you do, or just observations on nature. There are statistical formulas for finding out whether your null hypothesis is true or not at various confidence levels, 99 % , 99.5%, 95 % are all pretty usual certainty levels.

Quite often, with a cup of coffee.
Seriously, ideas often begin with "huh, that's odd, what's going on here?" or "I wonder if" or "what happens if"...
Scientists tend to be very curious people, and are usually pretty willing to try to turn an idea inside out and carefully analyze it.
